We're in the same boat with our garden. Even with purchased grid water we're only keeping it alive until cooler weather arrives. I got out fall seeds the other day and will be dusting them in this week and waiting on the first of the fall rains, Lord willing. The satellite's been down for several weeks now, so I've been offline for a while. <BR/><BR/>JudyJudywww.tabletophomestead.org/wordpressnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26611737.post-91018803725384416712008-07-17T08:36:00.000-07:002008-07-17T08:36:00.000-07:00I would love to sample a bit of that Mesquite coffee and tea. I'm long overdue for making a donation to the ministry so I will do just that.

She and I are both old Swedes when it comes to coffee consumption. <BR/><BR/>Danielle, now I'd definitely like to see that Horseshoe picture! Ha! My dad and brother were good horseshoe competitors, but esp. my Dad!<BR/><BR/>Have a great day!<BR/><BR/>BethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26611737.post-38062139813717438442008-07-16T22:35:00.000-07:002008-07-16T22:35:00.000-07:00Yeah I guess it hasn't really been that hot by Texas standards, daily mid 90s or so. Looks like more is on the way. <BR/><BR/>If you end up having enough of that Mesquite java that you're able to sell some (or receive a donation for), we'd certainly be interested.<BR/><BR/>BillBill Peckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08668701914227773313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26611737.post-46450131997048997242008-07-16T14:00:00.000-07:002008-07-16T14:00:00.000-07:00Bill, the heat has really not been that bad. I mean, we are having a traditional Central Texas summer. The total lack of rain is what has done it. It really doesn't matter how much water you can pour on the plants, if you don't get rain then they aren't going to do well in the heat. We're looking at about 3 inches of rain in the last three months, when our average rainfall would have been closer to 10 or 11 inches. So the heat is just a cumulative negative when added to the lack of water.<BR/><BR/>I am sure if we had an endless supply of city water to dump on the plants, we might have had some production, but we just don't have that.<BR/><BR/>Our sweet potatoes are still doing well, so we are hopeful for them.<BR/><BR/>MichaelMichael Bunkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10480186948086853961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26611737.post-20205400736430399262008-07-16T13:33:00.000-07:002008-07-16T13:33:00.000-07:00Michael,<BR/><BR/>sorry to read of the current garden output...do you just simply not have enough water to spare for it, or would the relentless heat render that a moot point anyway?<BR/><BR/>BillBill Peckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08668701914227773313noreply@blogger.com
